EDUCATION CORNER
STOP ASKING YOUR CHILD ONLY, “WHAT DID YOU SCORE?”

When children come home from school, one of the first questions they often hear is:

“What did you score?”

Grades are important, but they aren't the only thing worth asking about.

Try asking:

👉 What was the most interesting thing you learned today?

👉 What made you laugh today?

👉 Was anything difficult for you?

👉 Did anyone help you today?

👉 Did you help anyone?

👉 What would you like to understand better?

These questions open the door to conversations about learning, friendships, emotions and experiences.

Sometimes a child may have had an ordinary score but an extraordinary learning experience.

Let's teach children that school isn't just about collecting marks.

It's also about growing, thinking, discovering and becoming. ❤️

💬 What's the first question you usually ask your child when they return from school?

RELATIONSHIP COURT
SHOULD COUPLES HAVE A ‘COOLING-OFF’ PERIOD AFTER A SERIOUS ARGUMENT?

Some couples believe every argument should be resolved immediately.

“We shouldn't go to bed angry.”

But what happens when emotions are running high?

One person wants to talk.

The other says:

“Please give me some time to calm down.”

Is taking a few hours—or even a day—to cool off healthy?

Or does it simply give room for resentment and the silent treatment to grow?

There's a big difference between saying:

“I need some time to calm down. Let's talk tonight.”

and deliberately ignoring your partner to punish them.

So, Relationship Court is asking:

⚖️ After a serious argument, should couples take some time apart to cool down before talking—or should they always resolve the issue immediately?

💬 What's your view?

ADVICE HEADQUARTERS ANONYMOUS
MY FRIEND GETS ANGRY WHEN I SAY NO TO HER.

Dear Advice Headquarters,

I have a friend who is wonderful whenever things go her way.

But the moment I tell her “No,” her attitude changes.

If she asks me for money and I can't give it, she's upset.

If she asks me to help her with something and I'm busy, she becomes cold.

Sometimes she doesn't talk to me for days.

I've started feeling guilty whenever I can't do something for her.

Recently, I said no to a request and she told me:

“You've really changed. You weren't like this before.”

But honestly, I don't think I've changed.

I think I've simply stopped saying yes to everything.

Can a friendship really be genuine if someone only treats you well when you agree with them?

NOT EVERYONE DESERVES FRONT-ROW ACCESS TO YOUR LIFE.

As you grow, you begin to understand something:

You can love people without telling them everything.

You can be close to someone without giving them access to every plan.

You can forgive someone without trusting them with the same things again.

And you can care about people while still protecting your privacy.

Boundaries are not hatred.

Sometimes, they are simply wisdom.

Not everyone needs to know what you're planning.
Not everyone needs to know what you're earning.
Not everyone needs to know what you're struggling with.

Some things are better built quietly.

Protect your peace. Protect your plans. Protect your private life. ❤️

💬 Do you think people share too much about their lives these days?

EDUCATION CORNER
DON'T MAKE YOUR CHILD FEEL LIKE LOVE DEPENDS ON THEIR RESULTS.

A child brings home excellent grades.

“That's my child! I'm so proud of you!”

Then another term comes.

The grades drop.

Suddenly the atmosphere changes.

“What happened to you?”
“Are you not serious anymore?”
“You used to be intelligent.”

Children notice these changes.

They need to know that while their performance matters, their worth is not determined by a score on a piece of paper.

Celebrate achievement, yes.

Correct poor performance, yes.

But also remind your child:

“I love you whether you came first or last. Let's work together to understand what happened and improve.”

That kind of reassurance can help a child face failure without feeling like they have disappointed everyone.

Raise children who want to improve—not children who are terrified of disappointing you. ❤️

💬 Do you think parents sometimes put too much pressure on children to always come first?

RELATIONSHIP COURT

SHOULD COUPLES HAVE A RULE ABOUT DISCUSSING PRIVATE MATTERS WITH FRIENDS?

Every relationship has disagreements.

But when something happens between a couple, where should the conversation end?

Some people believe:

“You need a trusted friend to talk to. Keeping everything inside isn't healthy.”

Others believe:

“Your partner trusted you with that information. Don't take private relationship matters outside the home.”

And then there is the middle ground:

You can seek advice—but without exposing every private detail about your partner.

So here's today's question:

If your partner tells their friend about an argument, your finances, your family problems or something embarrassing you did...

Is that simply seeking advice, or is it a betrayal of trust?

💬 Where should couples draw the line when talking about their relationship with friends?

ADVICE HEADQUARTERS ANONYMOUS
MY FRIEND ALWAYS BORROWS MY CLOTHES BUT RETURNS THEM DAMAGED.

Dear Advice Headquarters,

I have a friend who loves borrowing my clothes.

At first, I didn't mind because we're close.

But there's a problem.

Almost every time she borrows something, she returns it with a stain, a loose button, a tear or some other damage.

When I mention it, she says:

“It's just clothes. I'll fix it.”

But somehow, she never does.

Last week she asked to borrow one of my favourite outfits for an event.

I said no.

Now she's upset and says I'm becoming selfish.

I feel guilty because I don't want our friendship to suffer, but I'm honestly tired of replacing or repairing my things.

Am I being selfish for finally setting a boundary?

— Anonymous

💬 Let's be honest—what would you tell her?

A. She's not selfish; she should stop lending her clothes.

B. She should give her friend one more chance.
C. They should agree on clear rules when borrowing things.
D. Something else—tell us.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT YET.

Sometimes we put unnecessary pressure on ourselves because we think we should already know exactly where our lives are going.

What career should I choose?
What business should I start?
Where should I live?
What should I do next?

But life doesn't always come with a complete roadmap.

Sometimes you discover the next step by taking the step you're able to take today.

You can learn as you go.
You can change direction.
You can start again.
You can discover something about yourself along the way.

Don't punish yourself because you don't have all the answers yet.

Give yourself permission to grow while you're figuring things out. ❤️

EDUCATION CORNER

DON'T MAKE YOUR CHILD AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS.

A child who asks:

“Why?”

again and again isn't necessarily being stubborn.

They may be curious.

They may be trying to understand how things work.

They may be connecting one idea to another.

They may simply need an explanation that makes sense to them.

When adults constantly respond with:

"Because I said so.”

children can eventually learn to stop asking questions.

And that's a problem.

At home and in school, we should create room for healthy curiosity.

Instead of always saying:

❌ “Stop asking too many questions.”

Try:

✅ “That's a good question. Let's find out.”

You don't have to know every answer yourself.

Sometimes you can simply say:

“I don't know. Let's learn it together.”

A curious child is not necessarily a troublesome child.

Sometimes curiosity is the beginning of learning. ❤️

💬 What question does your child ask you repeatedly that makes you laugh—or sometimes test your patience? 😂

SHOULD COUPLES BE EXPECTED TO APOLOGISE EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T THINK THEY WERE WRONG?

Let's be honest. 😂

Sometimes couples argue and both people genuinely believe they are right.

One person says:

“I'm waiting for an apology.”

The other says:

“Apologise for what? I didn't do anything wrong!”

Then the silent treatment begins. 😭

But here's the debate:

Is an apology always about admitting that you were completely wrong?

Or can someone say:

“I'm sorry that my words hurt you, even though that wasn't my intention.”

Some people believe apologising keeps peace and shows maturity.

Others believe a person shouldn't apologise for something they genuinely don't believe was wrong.

⚖️ RELATIONSHIP COURT IS OPEN!

💬 Should you apologise just to restore peace, or should you only apologise when you believe you were actually wrong?
